Project is going really well - we have to re-paint 6 toilet/ shower cubicles so spent first few days preparing surfaces and applying undercoats - starting with the gloss today. Slightly held up by the children at the home who all want to help all the time! They run in and around weilding paint bushes, scrapers and mops getting underfoot with a limitless enthusiasm. Enventually we had to put several people on "entertainment duty" aka human climbing frames/ water bomb attack targets to distract them away from the work!
Miss Witherspoon's hair and knitting have provided hours of entertainment for the girls, whilst Charlie has proved a great target for water bombs made from rubber gloves! A fantastic opportunity to interact with the children - also proving that fun and games are more international than language, you don't need to speak the same language to know that Oj running at you with a bucket of water means get out of the way!
Unfortunately illness seems to have swept camp, with almost half of us being affected by vomitting or diarrhoea at some point in the last week. Those of us that have are now affectionately known as the "Chunderbirds" and provide much hilarity for the healthy ones! Luckily a day of rest and plenty of water seems to cure it so we all hope to be well for our last 3 days of Rest and Relaxation. Fear not - we are all battling through!
Really looking forward to our free time and we're all planning out what exactly we want to do and then trying to fit it together into some sort of timetable so that we can all take part - rest assured nearly all of us are planning extensive gift lists and trips to the market to buy presents - you will reap the reward when we get home!
Love to everyone back at home,
Team 2

Sounds fantastic guys, getting work done, whilst having fun! A great way of being distracted. Hope everyone who has been ill are on the way to a full recovery and joining in the fun! Wishing you all a healthy and fun finish to a fantastic exhibition. We are all excited by what you may buy Sam, however, don't worry too much, we want you to get the most out of the recreation choices.
